The Transfer Tavern

Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to their club’s loan watch, as they take a look at how all the players loaned out by Chelsea are getting on across the world. Although the majority of fans have all been saying the same thing, they want Michy Batshuayi to be recalled back to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have gained a reputation over the years for loaning out an obscene amount of players without every promoting them to the starting eleven upon their return. The youth system at Chelsea has led to some of the club’s brightest prospects getting fed up with their lack of game time and leaving for other clubs. Dominic Solanke and Nathaniel Chalobah are both examples, as they left Chelsea for Liverpool and Watford respectively in the summer.

Although the fans now seem to be getting on the back of the club as they want to see some of the loanees being brought back to the club as the first team has failed to deliver over the last few weeks. Chelsea bowed out of the Champions League to Barcelona, losing 4-1 on aggregate, and find themselves five points off of 4th placed Tottenham in their quest to try and qualify for next season’s Champions League.
